According to the plate tectonic hypothesis, Fracture Zones (FZs) are considered transform faults that lie perpendicular to mid-ocean ridge axes; that is, they show the direction of seafloor spreading. Bathymetric maps of the Pacific Ocean basin exhib

New evidence reveals: 1.) Clustered earthquake patterns at the base of the lithosphere/upper mantle concentrated mostly within the ocean basins. 2.) Followed by Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies hypothesized to originate from underlying magma g

Guyots on the Dutton Ridge are used to explain the pre-existence of a plateau in the NW Pacific region. The idea was basically proposed in a 1983 paper but was not proven until the discovery of the basin-wide N-S fracture zone/mega-trends and the ort

Megatrends are trans-basin features comprised of fracture zones and seamount/island chains. They appear to be hot lines rather than isolated hot spots. The North Pacific Megatrend begins in Japan, crosses the trench in the form of the Geisha Guyots,

The WNW-ESE-trending Central Pacific Megatrend is a transbasinal feature comprising several types of geornorphic features—ridges, linear seamount chains, and fractures. First appearing on the satellite altimetry data set, an updated bathymetry effo

Present-day tectonic concepts of events on the western paleo-Pacific lithosphere must be assessed relative to new data. Data collected by the newer techniques of geophysical surveying reveal leaky fracture zones, trending NNW–SSE and WSW–ENE; non

TECTONlCS AND PHYSICS Geology, although rooted in the laws of physics, rarely has been taught in a manner designed to stress the relations between the laws and theorems of physics and the postulates of geology. The same is true of geophysics, whose s

The Chinook Trough is a trans-Pacific megatrend. By using heretofore unpublished bathymetry and geophysical data, the trend of the Chinook Trough megatrend has been determined from the Juan de Fuca Ridge in the Gulf of Alaska to the Izu-Bonin trench.

Bathymetric data at a 200-m contour interval for the entire Mariana forearc, from south of 13°N to 25°N, permits the first comprehensive overview of this feature. The Mariana forearc represents a sediment-starved end-member. The forearc in its sout
